New from the CURT Group! It's BetterWeigh™, a Bluetooth-enabled, smartphone-compatible mobile towing scale that measures your towing weight in real time! BetterWeigh calculates towing weights by gathering data from the OBD-II port and measures the real-time weight of your vehicle and trailer, cargo / payload, tongue weight, pin weight, weight distribution and trailer brake gain, displaying them right on your Apple or Android phone.
The towing scale is powered by TowSense™ technology, an accelerometer that measures changes in force and acceleration to provide a live readout of the weights associated with towing. Force is determined by measuring slip across the torque converter as the vehicle accelerates through 15 mph. The Bluetooth connection provides active readouts on the driver's smartphone.
The BetterWeigh™ is a wireless, compact portable design, and it's a no-install, plug-and-play setup into the vehicle diagnostic port (OBD-II) below the dash. It works for bumper pull towing setups, gooseneck towing and 5th wheel towing. It provides easy brake controller setup by measuring exact trailer brake gain needed.
